Irish police removed a seven-year old blonde girl from a Roma family in Dublin on Monday, just days after Greek authorities charged a Roma couple with abducting a blonde girl found in their care who wasn’t their daughter.

The police seized the girl after receiving a tip about a blonde-haired, blue-eyed child who looked nothing like her family, the Sunday Worldreports. The couple told police that the child was their daughter, but officers were suspicious of the documents they produced, including a birth certificate and a passport that contained a baby picture.

The couple said the child was born at Coombe Hospital in Dublin, but the hospital has no record of a child born on the girl’s birthday.

Neither parent has been arrested.

The case is remarkably similar to the mystery surrounding Maria, the blonde girl found last week in Greece with a Roma couple who are not her parents. The couple accused of kidnapping Maria have said they adopted her from a destitute mother who could not care for her.

everytime you see an article like this just know the roma are being discriminated and about 100 percent of the time the roma are wrongfully charged with these types of crimes and 100 percent of the time the charges are dropped or they are innocent

you people know that roma have blond haired blue eyed children the police were being discriminatory when they took away the children and the poor roma probably didn't want to talk back to cops so they just let the authorities take the baby i highly doubt the roma did anything bad they are probably too poor and give the baby to the police so someone else can raise them thinking they are not roma blood but aryan white blood and don't want any trouble also the roma do not like white aryan people because of the holocaust so they purposefully give away these babies. its simple logic people use your heads. roma are being very discriminated in the world 9 times out of 10 it makes more sense that probably the roma are being discriminated no matter how the media or whoever makes it seem they are just lying to you and twist the truth to lye to you and make it seem like roma are bad or whatever this is very easy guys

Please update your story! DNA tests proved that the girl was indeed the child of the Roma living in Dublin. This is the second time the police took away a child from his family in Dublin (again, due to someone saying "they don't look alike"). Also, according to other news sources, the family did produce a passport and proof that the mother gave birth when she said she did.

Stay away from Europe - child trafficking and prostitution and very widespread and your tourist money supports that. In Eastern Europe there are many young Gypsy girls who prostitute themselves to foreigners on the highways. Some of them get pregnant and their children and forced into begging and other crimes. The government does nothing because of the POLITICAL CORRECTNESS crap that's taken to extremes in Europe

This happens because whenever someone accuses Romas/Gypsies of something wrong, the governments excuse the behavior of their criminals with the "discrimination" they've gone through. The mother who had kidnapped the Greek girl - Maria - was paid more than 3,000 euro per month in welfare. The governments of Europe are equally as fault because they excuse any crime you commit as long as you appear to be low-class brown person.

And their genetic engineering runs both ways. My east European family had a sudden “darkening”
in a single generation of their flaxen hair blue eyed traits to pitch black
hair and olive skin with only the Roma around to have done it. While I like genetic engineering, their
disdain for anyone else’s customs and feelings needs to come to an end. They need to settle down and blend in and
stop being jerks like (almost) every other tribe has done.

I see many people here do not understand the context. I'm originally
from Ukraine and I know what these news are about. At my childhood,
there were many cases of children stolen by Roma people and few of them
were ever found. Those people were always migrating across the former
Soviet Union. So, it was not easy to find somebody in their community.
And yes, they are always lying. You never know when they tell you
anything that is true. Our parents always told us when we where
children: don't go unattended or you will be taken by Roma. It is not
surprising that EU government authorities started discovering these. In the new "DNA test
available" era a lot of Roma family might be found not biologically
related.

" The couple said the child was born at Coombe Hospital in Dublin, but the hospital has no record of a child born on the girl’s birthday.

Neither parent has been arrested."

A DNA test should have been done already. If the kid is not their child that isn't a crime but lying about it would imply a much worse crime than perjury. If it isn't their birth child they need to be in prison until the facts are know and perjury is good enough to arrest them for. Why would anyone lie about something like this? there could be an innocent answer, but they need to provide it and fast.

I can see this spinning out of control fast. Anyone else see anything wrong with ripping apart families based on the notion that something doesn't "look right"? The more this trends - the more chance of a serious mistake being made.

@GeorgiPeshev Being deported or sent to prison is "excusing a crime"? Why are you framing an entire population on the actions of individuals? Should people view all white europeans as pedophiles because they are the biggest culprit of child sex tourism? (just ask people in Thailand).

I'm American and looking into my EU ancestry. I' have looked up on Roma/gypsies' history and have found time and again that the "urban myth" of gypsies' stealing babies seemed to largely be a "Rumpelstiltskin" urban myth made by Caucasian Europeans to excuse the historical practice of enslaving gypsies and even castrating male gypsies, etc...etc...

As a point...I've been a life long reader of National Geographic Magazine all of my life (I'm 41 years old now) and I very clearly remember a personal article where a NGM writer spent most of his exploration into Roma/Gypsie life and culture--and towards the end suspecting that the European myths were B.S. until he and his photographer were personally mugged by a Gypsie (in the middle of a crowd of others--who (probably reacted out of mob-mentality)) which eliminated his until-then perception that EU Gypsies were merely misunderstood and oppressed as much out of habit and "for the sake of skapegoats" as Jews, across the centuries.

P.S. I've no Roma/Gypsy blood...but I do have Cherokee/Choktaw/Creek blood in me. That's why I'm curious about the EU Roma/Gypsie factor.

@ConwaytheContaminationist clearly you have no critical thinking skills. go to college. there's obviously a clear difference between civil rights and equality and people being the same. case in point, it is clearly obvious from your ignorant statement that you are more stupid than the average human. but as an alien from another planet, all you humans look the same to me.

@Hyperbole77 So ignore facts that point to abduction at worst, that's the mindset that allowed a Belgian man to keep tots in basement cells till they died a dozen years ago, and several Austrian men to imprison their own daughters as sex slaves in their basements and a convicted sex felon in the San Francisco Bay Area to imprison a teenage girl for decades while she bore him three children in a shed in his back yard. Children get kidnapped all the time. I'm 63 I can remember many here in the Bay Area who have never been found. And you are defending people who lie about children they say are their own. Ripping families apart? The question, and it is a burning one, is were other biological families ripped apart to create these "families" you talk about. And if it turns out that Gypsies or Roma or any other bunch of folks is kidnapping and trafficking tots you better believe it will spin out of control real fast. This could be a case where discovering evil creates evil because there will be a backlash if either of these kids is ultimately identified as a missing child. Why is it that every reply that these people give in Greece or Dublin turns out on inspection to be untrue. DNA proved the Greek tot was not related to the couple who claimed her to be their child, despite the bizarre way the child was being raised separately from their other kids, Everything else that requires proof that they have said has been proven untrue. Why should we believe anything they say? If a woman gave them a child that should be important enough that you remember, who when and where. But all we have seen so far are lies and a nasty reality check for Western notions of diversity and PC behavior. If it turns out that gypsies are abducting kids that is bad news for everybody. And it has the potential to change our future. Cultures change dramatically when folks discover things they didn't know.

@Hyperbole77 And when the child has no genetic link to it's "parents"? Without the paperwork of a formal adoption (private or not, there is always paperwork), how does anyone allow such a family to stay together? And remember that this child is almost certainly (DNA will help to find the biologic parents) has already been ripped from it's family.

And yes, reporting to the authorities a child who doesn't look as though it's a part of the family it's with, is legitimate. It's also to the only legal way I know of to get such a child back to their biologic parent(s).

You may think that this will spin out of control, and quickly, but I disagree. Too many people are too tied up in their own lives to care, unless and until it's almost forcibly pointed out to them.
